Challenge: Abstract Motion via Camera (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: Royal National Park, Australia
Date: Jul 2, 2012
Aperture: 22.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/13
Date Uploaded: Jul 2, 2012

 After my failure with the wildlife abstract I thought I would go with the more expected image of shapes and colours. I wasn't going to enter this challenge but while driving home in the late afternoon light I decided to grab my camera and point it out the drivers side window. I didn't even bother to open the window. Taking the shot wasn't hard but adjusting the aperture and iso settings at 100kph through twisting roads was tricky and a bit it stupid.

Once again I like the result. I feel it's a bit more mature than the type of abstract shots (zoom and rotation blur) I have done in the past. Alas, I'm expecting another disappointing result but would like at least one comment during the challenge. If not, this may be my last abstract as I obviously suck at it.

Three comments during the challenge! and a relatively high finish. this means you still have to shoot for abstract challenges!! :)

ETA: The colors and lines are exceptional! Seemed right to comment on the image as well.
